KYIV (QHA) -

It cannot be ruled out that the message by at least eight Russian and Ukrainian information resources is a fake prepared by the Kremlin trolls. However, the appearance of the information on the air battle over the Baltic countries, a downed Russian aircraft and survived Russian pilots shows that the Russian Federation is seriously studying the public response to such scenarios.

- Reportedly, a NATO fighter shot down a Russian SU-24 as it violated NATO airspace, according to Ukr News.

According to the sources, since the Russian aircraft did not respond to a lot of warnings and continued moving directly at NATO warships, it was decided to bring down the Russia’s plane.

- The plane crashed into the sea, the pilots were picked up by NATO destroyer. Both are alive and uninjured. Russia's reaction to the incident is still unknown. Soon a video showing astray Russian pilots will be put on the Internet, reported anti-Moskal [UA].
